Damn it all, I liked deity. Good then, and good now. DEITY. Because you've always wanted to play God. "Deity" is NOT a name that`s going to offend a significant number of people. If C3P0 can talk about being mistaken for a god and "Return of the Jedi" can still be regarded as good entertainment for kids, then we can call a piece of package-maintenance software "deity". Deity, deity, deity. It starts with the letter D, just like our current packaging front- and back-ends. It's a good name. I particularly find this fear of offense-generation suspicious in light of the fact that we have an editor called Jove, "that's blasphemy, by Jove", and, for Christ's sake, a security program called SATAN. Deity is just fine and should be left alone. No one has yet come up with a better name. There's not yet one with cool overtones and a similarity to the name of our distribution that's as good as deity. We did it right the first time. Let's leave it alone. I thought about referencing a legendary faux-USENET group regarding the skull of Jesus in this post, but thought better of it. -- G.
